Students in Mr. Baresel's social studies class wrote essays and made posters expressing what being a citizen of the United States meant to them. The posters they made and essays they wrote celebrated voting, the freedom of speech, the Bill of Rights and the legacy of liberty that 250 years of American History represents to all freedom loving men and women.

Labor day
Mr. Baresel’s 7th-grade social studies class stepped back in time to simulate a pre-1492 Native American barter economy by trading various trinkets, snacks, and goods with one another. Through this hands-on activity, students learned firsthand how traditional trade networks functioned without currency, the challenges of finding what they want for what they have, and how perceived value drives economic exchanges.
